[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interested in HS too. A friend mentioned the new head of US was very good. Is it the right balance of challenge and exploration and social/emotional for a very bright, kind kid?[/quote]

"New" head of US is leaving after 1 year. Lots of transition in that division. [/quote]

Uh Oh. We accepted earlier this week. What does this mean?[/quote]

The head of upper school is not somewhat new, she was new to the position. She has been with the school for the past 26 years and is leaving to be the Head of school somewhere else. That there does not seem like a loss to me as it means people learn, grow and move on to bigger things.  [/quote]

Every single point of your post is wrong. [/quote]

Please enlighten me[/quote]

The head of upper school was new to the school this school year and is leaving for family reasons (moving out of the area). They've already hired a new head of upper school. The assistant (associate? not sure what the exact title is) head of upper school has been there a long time, and from what I can tell, there hasn't been any disruption due to changes in leadership.

The teachers are really the school's strength. I've been especially impressed at how teachers in subjects that aren't my kids' favorites are able to get and keep them motivated and interested. There's such a variety of activities beyond just lecturing and then spitting back the material on tests. The biggest thing for me is that my kids are actually happy to go to school every day, which was not always the case at their prior schools.[/quote]
